It seems wrong that we are all forgetting about what may have been more of the illegitimate child of Jaguar lineage. But the XJS's were pretty quick, rode well, and looked very nice even if they were not in the XKE and D-type traditions of flowing beautiful lines. Only ending their production run in 1995-96 though, it seems a shame that this great Jag of a 20 year production run has been forgotten so soon.

Yeah I do! It was and still is a great car, have a look at this one with Aston Martin DB7 wheels.

This one has a bodykit.

Yeah, I really like that body kit. I think it's from Erebuni Corp. It almost makes the whole thing seem more substantial. I tried to get my friend to get it put on his '85 XJS after someone backed into his front bumper in a parking lot. He was going to have to pay app. $1000 to get the bumper fixed anyway, the kit is only $1077, I think.

Did he put it on? This is the official JaguarSport one ... my favourite.

And this is the Lister one.

Unfortunately, he didn't. I've got a standing offer to buy it, but his dad is pretty attached. I'm hoping when he goes to college he'll need the money. In which case, do you know where to find the official Jaguar Sport panels?

I don't think you can buy the official JaguarSport kit any more unless someone has one stored somewhere, or you take them from another car. Keisler Automotive sells a replica of the official Jaguar kit at http://www.keislerauto.com/Jaguar/body_styling/body_kits.html. Let mw know if you do buy it.

We love our 1993 Red XJS.

XJS should have its own category here.

Sounds nice, do you have any pictures/info of it?

Here's the very first American advertisement for the XJS.

Yes!! The XJS is my favorite Jaguar!! Closely followed by the XKR, of course....or the S-Type R. :thumbsup

I agree the XJ-S should have it's own forum here.I have a '78 with low miles and is pretty much stock.This is an ongoing project but well worth it.

Here is our XJS:

i'm seriously surprised it doesn't!!!! Very under rated but one of the true Greats!! just my opinion. :2cents:

I most definately remember them, I'm only 16 but I hope to oneday own an xjs, 6litre 12 convertible. Absoloutely beautiful cars.

pull the engine and trans and put in a TPI Corvette engine and 700-R4 overdrive tranny. Now what to do with that over designed V-12, this is whats sitting in my den.
